In 17th-century England, Charles II, the rightful heir to the kingdom, is driven from his country by militants working for rogue leader Oliver Cromwell. Charles ends up in the Netherlands, where he falls for local beauty Katie and spends his days happily in the quiet countryside. Unfortunately, Cromwell's associate Col. Ingram and his men track Charles down, and the would-be monarch must resort to swashbuckling his way to freedom.
Directed by Max Ophüls, The Exile leans on a strong ensemble — Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Maria Montez, Rita Corday — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
